<p>Florida Governor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ron-desantis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ron DeSantis</a> attacked tech executives this week for &#8220;groveling&#8221; to Chinese communist dictator Xi Jinping this week as he appeared in San Francisco for a meeting with President Joe Biden and California Governor Gavin Newsom.</p>
<p>DeSantis made the remarks during a campaign event on Friday where he talked about the terrible condition that the city is in.</p>
<p>&#8220;You know, the city is in squalor, there’s poop on the streets, there’s people using drugs, people getting mugged, crime, all this stuff,&#8221; he said. &#8220;But then Xi Jinping’s coming to town and what do they do? They got the poop off the sidewalk, they cleared the homeless, they stopped the drugs, they stopped the crime.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;And then, you have this meeting where Xi is there, and you&#8217;ve got some of these American CEOs basically just groveling in front of this dictator,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;And that just shows you, even with where we are now, and China wants to have more power over our country, but how many people in this country bend their knees to the whims of the Chinese Communist Party?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Those guys make money on Wall Street and stuff, but they’re empowering an adversary at the expense of the well-being of the American people,&#8221; he added. &#8220;So we cannot be in a position where we’re relying on an adversary for key things that are necessary for our national survival.&#8221;</p>
<p>DeSantis said that he as president will bring back the tech supply chains back to the United States or countries friendly to the U.S.</p>
<p>&#8220;Relying on China is a big, big mistake,&#8221; he added.</p>

<p>TRANSCRIPT:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>RON DESANTIS: And you know I look to see what’s going on, what went on in San Francisco the last couple days. You know, the city is in squalor, there’s poop on the streets, there’s people using drugs, people getting mugged, crime, all this stuff. But then Xi Jinping’s coming to town and what do they do? They got the poop off the sidewalk, they cleared the homeless, they stopped the drugs, they stopped the crime. And then, you have this meeting where Xi is there, and you&#8217;ve got some of these American CEOs basically just groveling in front of this dictator.</em></p>
<p><em>And that just shows you, even with where we are now, and China wants to have more power over our country, but how many people in this country bend their knees to the whims of the Chinese Communist Party?</em></p>
<p><em>Those guys make money on Wall Street and stuff, but they’re empowering an adversary at the expense of the well-being of the American people. So we cannot be in a position where we’re relying on an adversary for key things that are necessary for our national survival.</em></p>
<p><em>So we are going to re-shore supply chains. Not everything, every component has to necessarily be here. I want as much as possible, but there are friendly nations where supply chains work and that’s great. But relying on China is a big, big mistake.</em></p></blockquote>
